You Call Yourselves Americans, But You Make Me Sick

Mom of Four Tells It How It Is

J. Secrist
We live in a very ethnocentric world where people spend more time judging each other than following the golden rule. Such actions have caused my kids more grief than I could ever explain, but being who I AM, I continue treating people the way that I would want to be treated, even if they are less than deserving. Believe me when I say that this is not always easy! But then, the way I see it is, you get back at people that mock you by not only living, but by living well, because at the end of the day you are the one who will find peace. With that said, I think people ought to their own. Ok, so, I would not have made the choices that Nadia made, but then I have never had my fertilized eggs in jeopardy either. Therefore, I do not really know what I would have done. What I do know is that I spent 20 years raising 4 children as a single mom, and it kills me to watch people cast stones, when they should be tending their own gardens.

I personally do not give a damn if this woman received a few food stamps. I do not care if she receives SSI for her other children! For that matter, I do not even care how many kids she had before she made her choice to try for number 7. What I care about is the fact that there are 14 children, 8 of which still sitting in the hospital that will grow up knowing that society "REJECTED" them, and harassed their mother; all because she was living in a small house that was too small and raising her children in poverty. Since when did money and fancy homes mean more than love. Didn't you people learn nothing from the coal miners daughter? I guess not. Either way, you people call your selves Americans and yet from these posts, I would think that I am living in China! Before long, the American government will get the "tax payers" permission to enforce "population control". Is that what you want? Do you really want to make it legal for our society to decide without a trial who deserves children? That is what is going to happen if you people do not stop!

Let me put it this way, if you really are SO concerned about YOUR TAX DOLLARS... Do something to stop the senseless waste of money that is being spent on this war, and the death of our soldiers! OH, and before you people begin bashing me... Let me say, I lost my 19-year-old stepson to this war. He was barely out of high school, so I feel I have the right to speak the topic, and I would have obviously rather of had the money spent on burial fees and settlements given to Nadia to take care of those precious babies; even if I'm raising mine on next to nothing myself!

(I am NOT condoning Nadia's actions, I'm standing up for AMERICA!).

    As I said on the Dr. Phil website:

    I really do understand your feelings about Nadya deciding to bring even 1 more child into this world with 6 at home. Maybe we will never understand why she couldn't part with the eggs. I know I wouldn't want to be in a situation like that EVER! I just don't know what I would do, I mean yes giving them (eggs) up would probably be the right thing, but... IF you believe that humanity begins at conception then by all means those embryos were her children before they were ever implanted which could make it very hard to give away. I couldn't imagine being in the position to make such a choice, and thankfully I never will...

    But I think the over all picture here is those babies. What is the people in society doing to these tiny lil babies by showing so much PUBLICIZED hate and discontent. Think about it.... Professionals tell people all the time NOT to put a parent down in front of a child and yet I hear TONS of people (regular and professional) doing

    I agree with your right to state your opinion. I also try to treat people the way I want to be treated. However, when it is obvious that the person you are trying to treat fairly is on a continuous trip to irresponsibility and behavior that at best is crazy, I think the Golden Rule no longer applies. This girl didn't accidentally make this decision to have all of these children. She was looking for fame and fortune and it hasn't quite panned out. I think she is a clown and somebody should do a psych exam. I don't feel sorry for her and sympathize with her. I just think she is stupid. Not sorry for that thought. Your right to feel however. Great thought provoking article....Good work.
